Quick Tips
Hhmus 0.1% Ointment is effective at treating eczema (atopic dermatitis) when other treatment options have failed. It works by decreasing itching, redness, and skin rashes. Apply thinly to affected areas of skin only. Clean the affected area and dry well before applying Hhmus 0.1% Ointment. Avoid contact with water after application. Inform your doctor if there's no improvement even after two weeks of treatment or if the skin gets worse. Don't cover the area being treated with airtight dressings such as bandages unless directed by a doctor, as this may increase the risk of side effects. Stop using Hhmus 0.1% Ointment and consult your doctor if your eczema becomes infected. Continuous long-term use of the ointment should be avoided. Use as prescribed by your doctor.
